HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Command Reference

Administration Commands
define_directory_entry
When defining an adjacent node and its LUs, use define_adjacent_len_node instead of de-
fine_directory_entry. This enables you to define the node and its LUs with a single command. The
define_directory_entry command defines only a single entry, so you need to use multiple commands to
define entries for the adjacent node and for its LUs.
You can specify a “wildcard” LU name to match multiple LU names by specifying only the initial characters of the
name. For example, the wildcard LU name APPN.LU will match APPN.LUNAME or APPN.LU01 (but will not
match APPN.NAMELU).
2.16.1 Supplied Parameters
Parameter name Type Length Default
[define_directory_entry]
resource_name character 17
resource_type constant LU_RESOURCE
description character 31 (null string)
parent_name character 17 (null string)
parent_type constant ENCP_RESOURCE
Supplied parameters are:
resource_name
Fully qualified name of the resource to be registered. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a 1–8
character network name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character resource name.
resource_type
Specifies the type of the resource to be defined. Possible values are:
ENCP_RESOURCE
End node (EN) or low-entry networking (LEN) node
NNCP_RESOURCE
Network node (NN)
LU_RESOURCE
Logical unit (LU)
WILDCARD_LU_RESOURCE
Wildcard LU name
The owning control point (CP) on the node must be defined before you can specify an LU or wildcard LU
resource type.
description
A text string describing the directory entry. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the
node’s configuration file and returned on the query_directory_entry and query_directory_lu
commands.
parent_name
Fully qualified name of the parent resource; for an LU the parent resource is the owning control point and
for an end node or LEN node it is the network node server. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a
1–8 character network name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character parent name.
Do not specify this parameter in the following cases:
• When registering a network node CP.
• When the command is being issued to an end node or LEN node to define an adjacent LEN node CP with
which the local node communicates directly.
